well, I set up the timed event but it doesnt seem to be working right away (surprise surprise). I set it up just as Thom suggested, but it doesnt seem to turn on or off at the specified time. I tried 12hr time format and 24hr. The strange thing is in the event set up screen when I click test command it works just perfectly...I am just going to set it for now and see if it starts working.

Hey Thom,I accidentally told LMCE to add the HDD from this picture frame as a share when I was prompted, now under when i go to play music under audio I have Kubuntu sound files and extra crap showing up. How do I get LMCE to stop pulling files from this HDD (hide/unshare it)

Krys,when you look in your device tree, is the Monitor "under" the MD, or under the MD's Orbiter or under something else?I created it so that it belongs to the MD, I'm not sure if that was correct.Jean

its an intel "insert some numbers here i dont remember at the current time" 4ch AC'97I will look again once I get home but that is how I remember it.The strange thing to me is that it seems to be recognized because in alsamixer it shows up. In alsamixer I just turned everything up to 100% and I get no sound even in KDE.

I will do that tonight, I have been wondering if the problem might have something to do with the fact that there is a volume control on the side of the laptop. It is not just a dial that you can turn all the way up or down, it is a springloaded two way lever that under windows you hold it one way and the volume goes up, or the other way for down. I remember when I reloaded xp on the machine the sound wouldn't work until I used the restore CD that came with the laptop and installed some volume control driver. Just a thought.
